Best BC Classic future prices from several racebooks

I wonder what Flower Alley was 3 months ago when he was already crowned Horse of the Year from some around here?

Strong Contender looks like the long shot with a good chance if he improves off his last race. I really liked the way he looked before and during the race.

Anybody know what Beyer gave Strong Contender's run in the Super Derby?

I have not been a big fan of Strong contender, but you need to include him as a Strong contender for the Classic.

Has Jazil even worked since going to the sidelines? I wouldn't take 400-1 on him. Bright One's stakes win was in W. Virginia so he better be 75-1 for me. Dylan Thomas and Schirrocco are unproven on dirt and also would need to be far higher for me to bite. I'm no fan of G2 level 3yo's moving up into G1 company vs. older but if Strong Contender is truly developing into the horse many thought he could be...hmmm. Three year olds have done OK in the Classic. Often the "big name 3yo" gets beaten in the Classic by a lesser light. Consider proud Truth, Concern, Cat Thief and Tiznow. Even Unbridled had gone winless since the Derby and was looking like a flukey Derby winner by late fall.

Jazil hasn't posted a work since returning to McLaughlin's barn about 2 weeks ago.

You'll get to see Dylan Thomas over the dirt in two weeks, but you may also see those odds drop terribly low.

I heard back in August when he was out at Shadwell that there was no way they were going to run him in the Classic. Things can change, but I'd say the odds of Jazil running in the Classic are very slim.
